Blast in a common digestive dis- iiirbaiice in cattle. It is the result of an excessive accumulation of gas in the riimcii. Animals suffering from bloat will die in a very short time if not promptly treated.

It occurs most frequently when cattle are turned on to leguminous putures. Sweet clover, alfalfa. and rape are all liable to cause bloat- ing, particular-ly if the pasture is wet. Thick inimnture stands of alfalfa arc dangerous. wilted alfal- fa or clover on a hot day will of- ten cause disastrous results.

in acute cases the symptoms are well marked. It appears suddenly

Atmospheric influence will cause some flowers in the absence of sun to close up and go to sleep, and the opening of others as soon as the sun appears.

and the left abdomen is greatly distended with gas. Breathing be- comes difficult, the nostrils are dil- ated, mouth open and the tongue protrudes. Meaning and grunting are often noticed. The pressure of the gas interferes with the func- tion of the lungs and heart and the animal dies or suffocation.

Prevention ls Tteglmant

There are precautionary mea- sures which will help to prevent bloat. Care must be taken when tum- ing cattle in to leguminous pastures, particularly if the pasture is wet, or wilted from dry weather. It is best to seed some grass in legume pastures. Turn the animals on to grass before allowing them into the legumes. or give them a good feed. me OI hay. A good practice is to let the cattle hgve access to a rock of old feed in the legume pag- ture.

Medical treatment consists of the administration of a hall pint or kerosene or coal-oil. Two ounces of turpentine or creolin are some- times effective. These medicines should be given in one quart of milk. A gas of a piece of rope or wood placed in the animal's mouth helps in allowing the gas to escape through the mouth. When emer- gency treatment is required .1 trochar and canu-la should be used. The point of insertion is situated equal distances from the point of the hip, the last rib and the verte- brae or backbone. on the left flank A small incision is made in the skin, the trochar and canula forced through the skin and muscle and into the rumen. The trochar is now removed leaving the.sheath or canula in place. allowing the gas to escape. Reinsert the trochar be- fore removing the canula.

The above treatment should only be applied in cases oi emergency. If the services of a veterinarian are available it is better to use other types of drugs which are quicker acting and not as hard on the ani- mal.

The animal should have a laxative

Thomas Edison had 1099 patents granted in U. S. A. But when we consider applications, d 5, trade- marks. etc., the figure rises to over 1,500. Edison's patents all over the world for the 64 years from patent No. 1 (many of which have ex- plred) reach the amazing total of Over 110,000,000 people in Canada and the U. S. A. are living in elec- trically lighted homes, with three quarters of a million American and Canadian farmers using electric current to lighten their labors.

Thomas Edison, Benjamin Frank- lin, and Abraham Lincoln are among the most notable examples of self- educatcd men. Each of these gain- ed his great knowledge by observa- tion and wide reading; each read over 10.000 books and their remark- able memories retained on unbeliev- able mastcry of their essentials to the end of their days.

GUESS WHERE

There are still many beautiful days this summer. Would you like to spend them-at no extra cost. in 9. land' where: "Fiocks of geese wander along country lanes, square hay rlcks have adjustable pointed roofs, farmhouses are painted blue, green and yellow with steeply slanting roofs forming crosses. Silver fox farms. numerous bays and rivers with sleek lobster boats moored at tiny docks. TWO WHEEL- ED CARTS DRAWN BY OXEN EVEN ON THE PAVED 5TR.!2!.'1'E OF THE ISLANDS CAPITAL CITY, (the capital, letters are mine) these the traveler can see in a day's drive around the Island."

Where is this so quaint and sec- luded part of the world? It is none other than our own Prince Edward Island! The paragraph quoted comes from an article of about 1000 words in the Travel and Re- sort section of the New York sun- day Times of August 10. The rest of the material gives the facts any tourist wants to know; some- thing of the history, geography, re- soirrces, travel routes, beaches, fishing accommodations and prices. It is a signed article in the most sober and scholarly newspaper in the U. S. and as reliable as any in the world. Yet here we are. One in a while of course. a few geese docwander into a country lane; there are square hayricks with adjustable pointed roofs: one can find here, as almost every- where. farmhouses painted blue, green and yellows, though they cer- tainly are not common. Perhaps even farmhouses with steeply slant- ing roofs forming crosses” do exist, though we could find no one who had seen any such, but H "TWO WHEELED CARTS DRAWN BY OXEN EVEN ON THE PAVED STREETS OF THE ISLANDS CAPITAL CITY," Well, "slightly aggerated" as one famous hu- morist said when he read the notice of the deathi We can read this impression of ourselves with nothing worse than a mixture of irritation and amuse- ment. After all, our thousands of visitors each year can see for them- selves. And if any are drawn here by our-oxen, they will surely find compensations for thelr-disappoint- merit. But the whole idea behind it-the idea that simple truth is not enough to gain attention, is dis- turblng.

It brings up the difficult and complicated subject of the effect upon children and adults of the modern press, radio, movies and ad- vertising. Obviously these channels of communication wish to gain as many followers as possible. They thus take man's basic curiosity a- bout persons and places and things and play up the unusual the sen- sational vlolcnt, the simple to grasp. that draw the attention of the majority most easily. Just what this does to the development of people, is not clearly understood. We shall attempt to discuss this in a future column.
